Nintendo releasing “cavalcade” of big-name, fan-favorite Wii U and 3DS games
Let’s face it: Nintendo’s early 2013 lineup is bleak. Nintendo only has one major, core game releasing in January and February: Fire Emblem: Awakening.
Things will begin to turn around in March, according to president Satoru Iwata. Through the rest of the year and into 2014, “Nintendo will release a cavalcade of strong, fan-favorite software titles for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS.”
Iwata wrote in an investor’s statement:
“Beginning in March and continuing through the rest of the calendar year and into 2014, Nintendo will release a cavalcade of strong, fan-favorite software titles for both Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. New entries in the Mario Kart, Super Mario, Legend of Zelda, LEGO City, Wii Fit and Pikmin franchises will help Nintendo regain momentum for Wii U. Additionally, highly anticipated Nintendo 3DS games such as Luigi’s Mansion 2 and Animal Crossing: New Leaf have the potential to be hardware drivers and bring new audiences to the platform.”
